A review of literature data carried out on the most important aspects of epidemiology, risk factors and pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome (MS). Metabolic syndrome has been found in approximately one quarter of the world’s population, and, despite the large-scale treatment, preventive and health-improving promotion programs on a global scale, the number of persons with MS tends to increase annually, especially among young ablebodied age. There are many risk factors in its genesis, including genetic predisposition, low physical activity, poor diet, smoking, intestinal microbiota, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and others, the role of most of which needs to be studied in more depth. Many criteria have been proposed for the diagnosis of MS, each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. With MS, most organs and systems are affected, and with the combined involvement of the cardiovascular, endocrine, urinary, digestive and respiratory systems burdened clinical course of MS. In connection with the above, there is a reason for further scientific research to identify the causes and risk factors for the development of MS, development of preventive ways of prevention, preventive diagnostics and early treatment of MS. Keywords: metabolic syndrome, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, obesity, hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract: Introduction: The quality of sleep plays a serious role in the individual’s daytime performace and state of health, there by it has a strong influence on the society. Aim: The present study measures the probability developing and severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, – which belongs to group of disorders of the respiratory – through odds ratio of leading risk factors. Method: 127 persons were examined in the test. The sleep structure test data were processed by polysomnographic screening device. Results: The nutritional level of body in mass index (BMI), and the neck circumferences data were recorded in cm. On the basis of the examination the gender as a risk factor it can be said that the odds ratio for men compared to women, more than three times higher of emergence of disease. Conclusions: Men’s chance of the emergence of serious disease is more than four times higher than women’s chance. In the men’s test group the most significant predictor of obstructive sleep apnea amongst the risk factors is the circumference according to odds ratio. In women’s group the leader odds ratio is BMI. More than 50% of test goup don’t report about daytime sleepiness, and this fact draws our attention to the role of risk factors’ odds ratio in selection. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(21): 823–828.

Background : Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is a cause of hypertension, increasingcardiovascular risk and cardiovascular disease such as stroke, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, heart failure, increasing the risk of death in patients with heart disease, independent of other causative factors. So far, in Vietnam there are very few studies on Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) and cardiovascular risk factors . Self-making SASD07 is trustly for detecting OSAS with statistical significiant in comparision with StarDustII (gold criteria). Subjects and Methods: Cross sectional study, comparision with control group: 136 peoples (68 in disease group and 68 in control group). Patients were parallelly measured with StarDustII and SASD07 to detect OSAS and find the corellation with cardiovascular risk factors. Results: There is a positive correlation between SBP with the severity of OSAS (r = 0.459, p < 0.001), positive correlation between DBP with the severity of OSAS (r = 0.352, p < 0.003). No statistically significant differences between severe OSAS and fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, Non - HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol and TG median (p > 0.05). There is a positive correlation between AHI and neck circumference (r = 0.511, p < 0.001), waist circumference (r = 0.585, p < 0.001), BMI (r = 0.380, p < 0.01). SASD07 diagnostic value of detecting OSAS compared with StarDustII have Kappa = 0.72, (standard error 0.06, p <0.001). Conclusion: The risk factors related to OSAS in our study is neck circumference, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure. SASD07 have a good value in diagnosing of OSAS compared with polysomnography StarDustII. Key words: Sleep Apnea Syndrome, cardiovascular risk factor, SASD07.

Background: Vitamin D exerts multiple pleiotropic effects beyond its role in calcium-phosphate metabolism. Growing evidence suggests an association between hypovitaminosis D and sleep disorders, thus increasing the interest in the role of this vitamin in the regulatory mechanisms of the sleep-wake cycle. Objective: The study aimed to explore and summarize the current knowledge about the role of vitamin D in sleep regulation and the impact of vitamin D deficiency on sleep disorders. Methods: The main regulatory mechanisms of vitamin D on sleep are explained in this study. The literature was scanned to identify clinical trials and correlation studies showing an association between vitamin D deficiency and sleep disorders. Results: Vitamin D receptors and the enzymes that control their activation and degradation are expressed in several areas of the brain involved in sleep regulation. Vitamin D is also involved in the pathways of production of Melatonin, the hormone involved in the regulation of human circadian rhythms and sleep. Furthermore, vitamin D can affect sleep indirectly through non-specific pain disorders, correlated with alterations in sleep quality, such as restless legs syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Conclusions: : Vitamin D has both a direct and an indirect role in the regulation of sleep. Although vitamin D deficiency has been associated to sleep disorders, there is still scant evidence to concretely support the role of vitamin D supplementation in the prevention or treatment of sleep disturbances; indeed, more intervention studies are needed to better clarify these aspects.

Abstract Background Understanding the causes and risk factors of metabolic syndrome is important for promoting population health. Oxidative stress has been associated with metabolic syndrome, and also obstructive sleep apnea. These are two diseases which have common prognostic characteristics for heart disease. The aim of this study was to examine the role of oxidative stress in the concurrent presence of metabolic syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea in a working population. Methods Participants were 163 artisan bakers in Shahroud, Iran, routinely exposed to significant heat stress and other oxidative stress indicators on a daily basis as part of their work. Using a cross-sectional design, data relevant to determining metabolic syndrome status according to International Diabetes Federation criteria, and the presence of obstructive sleep apnea according to the STOP-Bang score, was collected. Analyses included hierarchical binary logistic regression to yield predictors of the two diseases. Results Hierarchical binary logistic regression showed that oxidative stress – alongside obesity, no regular exercise, and smoking – was an independent predictor of metabolic syndrome, but not obstructive sleep apnea. Participants who were obese were 28 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome (OR 28.59, 95% CI 4.91–63.02) and 44 times more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea (OR 44.48, 95% CI 4.91–403.28). Participants meeting metabolic syndrome criteria had significantly higher levels of malondialdehyde (p <  0.05) than those who did not. No difference in oxidative stress index levels were found according to obstructive sleep apnea status. Conclusions Our findings suggest that oxidative stress contributes to the onset of metabolic syndrome, and that obstructive sleep apnea is involved in oxidative stress. Whilst obesity, exercise, and smoking remain important targets for reducing the incidence of metabolic syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea, policies to control risks of prolonged exposure to oxidative stress are also relevant in occupations where such environmental conditions exist.

AbstractObstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by symptoms and signs of more than 5 apneas per hour (AHI) at polysomnography or 15 or more apneas per hour without symptoms. In this review, the focus will be a subgroup of patients: adult non-obese subjects with OSA and their specific features. In non-obese OSA patients (patients with BMI < 30 kg/m2), there are specific polysomnographic features which reflect specific pathophysiological traits. Previous authors identified an anatomical factor (cranial anatomical factors, retrognatia, etc.) in OSA non-obese. We have hypothesized that in this subgroup of patients, there could be a non-anatomical pathological prevalent trait. Little evidence exists regarding the role of low arousal threshold. This factor could explain the difficulty in treating OSA in non-obese patients and emphasizes the importance of a specific therapeutic approach for each patient.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to assess the factors associated with periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMS) among obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients and identify the role of PLMS in patients with OSAS. 303 adult patients with OSAS were included in the study. All patients completed physical examination, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), and polysomnography. Diagnosis of PLMS was made if the periodic leg movements index (PLMI) was ≥ 15. Chi-square test, ANOVA, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with PLMS among OSAS patients. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 26.0 for mac. Statistically significant difference was considered if P value < 0 .05. Among the 303 adult patients with OSAS, 98 patients had significant PLMS and the other 205 had no significant PLMS. Compared with OSAS patients without PLMS, OSAS patient with PLMS were older, had shorter REM duration and greater apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) (P < 0.05). The study suggests that PLMS is a matter of concern among patients with OSAS. A better understanding of the role of PLMS among OSAS patients could be useful in better recognition, intervention and treatment of OSAS.
